Brilliant game from KB. I've been waiting to see more post-up action from him for a while now. He's an amazing post-up player, one of the best of all time. He'll score and find guys with ease from there.

"The first time I ever saw my uniform hanging in the locker I put it on right away, and it just felt like I was putting on golden armour. From that day forward, I just called it 'the golden armour', it just felt like there was something mystical and magical about it" - Kobe Bryant.

Before anyone comes in with the "Kobe defending Westbrook wearing him down" argument, watch the game again. He played off Westbrook dared him to shoot from the perimeter. No way Westbrook is gonna pass on an open look. Pure genius. It allowed him to rest and get others involved. Most importantly, it kept the ball out of Durant's hands. Marvelous performance IF this Kobe shows up (21ppg/8assists/8 rebounds) we will be tough to beat in a seven game series.
